Starch and cellulose are similar polymers. Both are made from the same monomer, namely glucose, and both have the same repeat units having a glucose base. But the main difference is that while all the repeat units of glucose present in star...

The difference between cellulose and amylose can be seen by comparing the figures of amylose and cellulose. Cellulose is formed by linking b-glucopyranose rings, instead of the a-glucopyranose rings in starch and glycogen.

This peculiar difference in acetal linkages results in a major difference in digestibility in humans. Humans are unable to digest cellulose because the appropriate enzymes to breakdown the beta acetal linkages are lacking. ... Compare Cellulose and Starch Structures:

What is the difference between plant matter that we can eat and plant matter that we cannot? ... Both cellulose and starch are made of chains of the same subunit: glucose, but they are bonded together differently, and this difference in structure is what gives the molecules their unique characteristics.

29. The structural difference between cellulose and starch is based on the location of the hydroxyl group found on carbon-one of the glucose ring. As the 1-4 beta-linkages of cellulose form, every other monomer in the chain is turned over.

To appreciate the difference between starch and cellulose, we must go back and consider the structure of glucose in more detail. ... Now the difference between starch, glycogen and cellulose is that starch and glycogen are polymers of alpha glucose monomers, while the polym ers of cellulose are made of beta glucose.

the differences in their structures are: starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glu...
